Question 1

I'm dealing with unwanted facial hair and really want to try some permanent hair removal options. However, I'm an SLE patient and currently on medication. I'm worried about whether having American Electrolysis treatment could cause any issues for me. Are there better hair removal methods out there that would be safer given my condition?

Accepted Answer

American Electrolysis treatment for hair removal may not be the best option for you as an SLE patient, especially if you are under medication. The process involves inserting a fine needle into each hair follicle and applying an electrical current to destroy the hair follicle. This can potentially cause skin irritation, scarring, and other complications, which may be more risky for individuals with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Instead, you may consider laser hair removal as a safer alternative. Laser hair removal targets the hair follicles with concentrated light, destroying the hair without causing damage to the surrounding skin. It is a non-invasive procedure that may be more suitable for individuals with SLE. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before undergoing any hair removal treatment to ensure it is safe for you considering your medical condition and medications.

Question 2

I'm a bit worried because my doctor on Practo suggested I take Zincovit, but I can't find it anywhere. Could you let me know if there's an alternative or substitute I can take instead?

Accepted Answer

Supradyn tablet is advised to the patient.

Question 3

I've got this boil or phoda at the start of my hip line that just won't heal. Every day, pus and a little bit of blood come out of it. I've tried using different antiseptic creams and even took amoxicillin tablets, but nothing seems to be working. I also have diabetes, but it's under control. What could be causing this issue, and how can I get it to heal?
